The Vibe Has Shifted And We're Still Shipping Nicolandria

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. Eat that kitty eat that kitty Eat that kitty in a hideaway Hello. Hello, Dishers. Welcome back to another episode of the Dish with Tish Love island edition. I'm here with my fellow islander and bestie in the villa. Megan. How you doing? [00:00:32] Speaker B: I'm doing all right. I'm hanging in, babe. It's been a crazy week. [00:00:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God. It's been a crazy week in the villa and in life. I hope you dishers are doing good. I miss you guys. I had to fight the urge to just, like, record a voice memo on my phone to just get it out here on Sunday because I was losing my goddamn mind. If you didn't know already, which, if you're listening to this, you already know where I stand in the villa, and I cannot wait to get into it with you guys. Oh, my God. Oh. Like I say before in every episode, pardon us, because we are recording this live at 10:30 at night. Just, like, let it get ripped after we watch the episode. So bear with us. Oh, my gosh. I. Well, tonight's episode, I mean, like, LOL @Taylor and Clark making it official to be voted off in the same night. I was trying not to laugh when he brought it up because I'm like, babe, you don't know, but you're going home. I mean, I feel like he had to have some inclination from the voting that happened last week in the rankings of it all. So maybe he was just doing that to officially seal the deal before he knew him and Clark were eventually going to get the boot. [00:02:10] Speaker B: Seemed like he felt like he dropped that energy of trying to be like, whatever kind of courteous he could be towards Alandria. You know, being around Clark and trying to be respectful, if you will. [00:02:22] Speaker A: Will. [00:02:23] Speaker B: It seemed like he kind of dropped that and just went straight into, all right, it. I'm just not going to worry about Alandria anymore, which. Bye. [00:02:31] Speaker A: And, you know, I. I have to respect that. Respectfully. Not. I won't respectfully. Respectfully decline. [00:02:44] Speaker B: It really was so funny when he was like, I want to make it official with her. And we're all like, we just voted. Like, we're. You don't know. You're out of here, motherfucker. You get. I'm going to be. I would have been like, air Bud. Just throwing the pudding out into the. Into the field. Get out of here. Leave. [00:03:05] Speaker A: That's such a deep cut. I was like, wow. [00:03:08] Speaker B: Like, what the fuck are you talking about? [00:03:10] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Not Air Bud, child. But he is Air Bud. You know who you Know who was air bud? Ace. When they had to lift Asa, they lifted his ass. Do a dunk. Oh, my God. [00:03:22] Speaker B: And he still didn't make it. He still missed that fucking shot. [00:03:25] Speaker A: He still missed. But you know what? I gotta say, Ace is growing on me. Okay, okay, okay, okay. [00:03:32] Speaker B: All right, so what you gotta say? I have thoughts. [00:03:35] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. The vibe has shifted and I. And I hate to say it, but the last week in the villa, the vibes have been pretty immaculate. Minus tonight because of sadness. AKA Huda. [00:03:54] Speaker B: That I. I'm sorry, were you killing her sadness from inside out. Inside out. [00:04:00] Speaker A: Yes, she is sadness. Honestly, you know, like, sadness is a blessing. Sadnesses occur. Sorry, that's actually a song. But she is like, girl, she just. Besides her, the vibes have been really, really great. And I don't know if that is. I mean, I know some people are accusing Sierra of having a. Being a warlock and that she put some spells in that villa. [00:04:30] Speaker B: Yeah, she was like, kind of like a secret just mastermind of chaos and insecurities. [00:04:37] Speaker A: Per. [00:04:37] Speaker B: Per chance, perhaps. [00:04:39] Speaker A: I mean, is it weird? Like, I don't know, like, even Ace has been. And I think the reason why Ace, I've been living for him is because he is seeing it happen in real time and he is just as giddy as we are and he knows the potential. So I'm coming around to Ace and I feel like him and Shelly have had some really cute dates. I'm even to the point where I'm like, okay, these niggas have planned five to six of their own dates in the villa. Y' all need to just please send them on a fudgeing day already. [00:05:14] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:05:15] Speaker A: What are we doing? We only have a few days left. Like, I need everyone to have dates in their one on one time, but I'm sure it's going to happen more with the fight finale coming out. But I'm like, I mean, I hate to say that he's been growing on me. [00:05:31] Speaker B: I. I'll say. I agree. He's been growing. He's been growing on me. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:36] Speaker B: But it's still little things that I'm like, I still think I hate this guy. Like, yeah, he's been Nickelandrea Stan. We love that. That's like the only thing that I think I can agree with him on. And that, like, Shelly's great, right? It's little things. Like, even tonight he said, I love that she did that date for me, man. That was so thoughtful. It really makes her worthy and like that I'm like, I don't like that. I don't like that you're looking at yourself as this higher being. You tattooed your name on your fucking back, dude. Like, you think you are God's gift and that she has to work tenfold to earn the love from you. I'm like, I don't like that. I don't like it. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's, that's, that's fair. [00:06:21] Speaker B: It's the little comments and the competition of like being the best parent. Like one. This is a fake ass baby. [00:06:29] Speaker A: Like, this is literally. Baby, this is. [00:06:33] Speaker B: This is not real pee coming out of the pee hole of this baby. [00:06:36] Speaker A: No, girl is water. [00:06:37] Speaker B: This is water. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Okay? [00:06:40] Speaker B: So, like, it's not that intense. You don't have to. It's. I just, like I said, growing. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Yes, that's fair. That's fair. That's. That Those are all valid points. As she chucks her Ryan. Yeah, those are all absolute valid points. Yeah, that's. He's. He's growing on me. [00:07:00] Speaker B: I think he got humbled tiptoeing his way down to the end of the lineup with the balloon challenge or whatever the. I think he said, oh, I don't think they like me. I need to shift some of my. I think it was a combination. Maybe Sierra leaving, maybe him getting his ass humble. I don't know. [00:07:20] Speaker A: Yeah, Amaya being America's favorite. Huh? [00:07:24] Speaker B: You could see it when he was kind of like sitting there nodding with a little smirk. It was like you could see the gears shifting for him for sure. [00:07:31] Speaker A: For sure. I think everyone saw the rankings for what they are except for Zach because he was lucky at the time of that vote. Like, girl, if it would have been 24 hours later, you would have been right at the end with Ace and Taylor and you met your fate ultimately. Bye bye. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Right. [00:07:52] Speaker A: See you later. Like, I just am happy that Austin by Taylor by and honestly, I hate to say, but Sierra, I do. I am. I. The vibe is just so different. Like, I've just felt like I've enjoyed all the couples more, even Taylor and Clark, Shelly and Ace. Like, I have been appreciating them more. It hasn't been as contentious and like heavy. It's been so frustrating and such a bummer and like it's just been like light and breezy and I mean, hello, the Nicolandia hive. Hello. [00:08:31] Speaker B: Let's fucking get in there. [00:08:33] Speaker A: Let's fucking rise up. Let's fucking go. We are eating good tonight. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. [00:08:41] Speaker B: I just have my whole abdomen is like buzzing, mate. Talk about buzzing. I am warm and toasty. [00:08:49] Speaker A: I know I sound like a crazy person. And I'm okay with that because, like, delusion, obviously it's not delusion anymore. And I'm okay with this because I. I genuinely see it. Like, I feel. I feel it as somebody who loves romance, you know, and like, just this is feeding me so much. And I'm actually obsessed with the. The Friends to Lovers arc, which is eating this season. And I'm just all in on. And I just want to say something. Okay, like, say it. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Fucking say it. [00:09:23] Speaker A: I'm going to fucking say it. I'm going to fucking say it. Because I just want to give a shout out to my Nickelandria shippers. I just feel like we are the future in this world and I think we're going to be pivotal in the. The revolution, honestly, because, like, if you really think about it, like, when our reality did not reflect what we wanted, we strategized and we manifested this. And we looked at different angles and how it could work. And when the. [00:09:54] Speaker B: We looked at. You guys looked at pupils. [00:09:56] Speaker A: Girl, there's a whole pupil fucking TikTok on Nick's pupils when he's looking at Alandria, okay? And, you know, we did community care through art and humor, and we were strategic and whimsical and we had all different types of people in there. We had Christians, Jewish people, Muslims. We have fucking tarot readers, astrologers, like, all unified for one. One objective, one goal. We were a safe space for each other to, like, you know what I mean? Like, really bounce our. [00:10:29] Speaker B: No, we are the children. [00:10:33] Speaker A: And everyone called us solutional. And, you know, I just love that it was such a feminine and also black moment too, because I feel like it's just such a reflection of women and majority black women, how we naturally lean towards, like, elements of community and community care and things that are literally going to be essential in times that we're in right now. Like, when I say that revolution shit, like, I mean literally right now, like Nickelandria in the world, like, that's the type of vision that it's. It's necessary because if we can talk about it and we talk about, like, hating the oppression that we're under and these systems that we're in, but if no one can imagine a better system, then we're just as fucked because we're living in a capitalist reality. And if you can imagine for yourself and manifest it, like, be whimsical, delusional, hopeful, imaginative, that's what it is, you know, And I just Feel like my nickelandria. Fellow shippers, we are not running short on imagination. And I fucking love us because I haven't felt this way. It's so long. And this is. This is living frankly not to get all fucking real for a second. [00:11:48] Speaker B: Get real. Stay on your. Stay on your box. You know what I mean? [00:11:51] Speaker A: I'm just. I'm talking about shit. I'm just talking about shit because I just cannot. It just is crazy to beat that Love island has taken over my life like this. Like, I. I can't even. I don't even remember what my for you page looked like before. It was obviously still Love island, because I've been watching for such a long time, but, like, since episode 21 and that kiss and that 24 hours of seeing that dream come true and literally everyone was just buzzing. Everyone having fanny flutters. And that day, it was truly, like, one of the best things ever. [00:12:31] Speaker B: No, seriously. [00:12:33] Speaker A: And I'll be chasing that high forever. But I just feel like the shippers really understand what it is like to believe in something, to see something and to be 10 toes down in it and to draw in community. Because, like I said, I just. I don't know. I really appreciate that because if you don't have that shit in times like these, then what? You don't have nothing. [00:12:59] Speaker B: No. We were texting about how this feels like Ryan and Marissa kissing on the Ferris wheel. Like, this feels like a teen soap, but it's actual people, so it almost like magnifies it more and it heightens the stakes because it's. It's not like the writers are in a room. Like, okay, we know they like the two of them together. We know they're kind of into Chandler and Monaco. So let's develop this structurally with a writing game. They're like, oh, we have to see if this happens organically. And it has. I know a lot of people are saying it doesn't feel organic. I beg to differ. It has just awoken some sort of just, like, young, like, vibrant spirit, I think that we've all been wanting to feel again. I think I made the comparison. We were saying this before we knew what Sierra had said and, like, all this, but we were like the nickel Andrea. Sierra triangle could be similar to that of Lucas, Peyton, and Brooke. You know, like, we know one tree. Hell, we know that Lucas and Peyton are endgame, and Brooke is just kind of that girl who just doesn't quite make the cut. And now we know why she's not making the cut, AKA Sierra. But, like, I Just, it just feels so good that all of us, like you were saying, with that kind of community, can feel the buzz altogether and live in each other's delusional now reality that we get to experience. And it's. It's all real. It's fucking all real. [00:14:34] Speaker A: I know. I saw there's those comparisons. There was one, it was Fierro and Elphaba. [00:14:40] Speaker B: Oh yeah. [00:14:41] Speaker A: And I was like, oh, I mean. [00:14:43] Speaker B: I think that one takes the cake. [00:14:44] Speaker A: For that is so real. But okay, I think I figured out like what it's all of those things we know. Yearning, longing, Nosferatu, Nosferatu. Those are everything to me. But I feel like the giddiness of what we're all feeling is not only the friends to lovers arc that's happening between them, but it's like they're kiss and their chemistry, it just, to me, it captures how it feels to kiss your crush for the first time and like knowing that your crush likes you back and you are already so into them in a way that scripted TV could never. And that is why reality TV is so fucking elite. Even their little like back and forth banter and like, he's like, you're weird. And she's like, don't even, don't even go there at their little pet names. And he's like, it's just Nick for now. Like that perfectly captured that feeling. Like you watch emotions and feelings and like you've actually had in your life laid out on a television screen in a way that just does not get captured sometimes through a reality TV show, you know, and it just, it's good old fashioned, like fucking fire, flames. 10 out of 10 reality TV. So I don't care if it's manufactured because I'm okay with it. If it is, I'm signing off on it. But I, I genuinely don't think it is. [00:16:18] Speaker B: I really, I really don't. [00:16:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like, like, okay, so I rewatched the first episode because like. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Oh yeah, the challenge. [00:16:28] Speaker A: Kiss am obsessed with it. And it's like Nick has literally been talking about Aladria from the entire time. He is literally been saying that he wanted to talk to her from day one. And he said on, I think it was Monday's episode, like when they had the baby and he was working out and Ace came over and he said he had that fiery feeling in his chest and he got like flutters all over his body. And when I went to rewatch it, he. He literally said he wanted someone who gave him goosebumps and flutters all over his body. And I'm like, when I saw them in bed, I was just like, if this has anything to do with me, they are seeing that 100k. If I am still alive, I am going. I am literally going to say, if. [00:17:22] Speaker B: I'm still alive, like in next, next. [00:17:25] Speaker A: Week, if I don't make it, if they don't win, then I something. I am not alive because you know what I mean? [00:17:33] Speaker B: Oh, there's just no way. [00:17:36] Speaker A: And I just. Oh, his entire aura when he is with the laundry is so different. [00:17:43] Speaker B: No. [00:17:43] Speaker A: You know, and I just feel sorry. I just am so. I've been waiting to talk about this. Do it, say it honestly for me, like after their kiss, when they're talking the next day and you know, if that had gone in a different direction, if Alondra would have said, like, listen, of course I still have feelings for Taylor, but that kiss really took me and I can't stop thinking about you. Nick would have been right the fuck there and he would have been on it. And I don't think his head was preoccupied. I think it was hers. You know, like, he's very self aware. [00:18:22] Speaker B: Yeah. He let her start the conversation. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Yes. Like, Nick is smart. Even if he does chat. GPT how to adopt a child as a single dad, I do still think that, like, he is very aware and he's been pining and longing for her for so long. And I think there were a lot of elements as to why he didn't go after it. And I just. For people who are saying that, I'm like, watch the season back. Because this, it's been there. It's literally been there. It's there. In the first episode, he talks about how she gave an energy that Bel Dasha did not. [00:19:02] Speaker B: Right. Let's talk about the mechanics of how he maneuvers around her. His kisses with Alandria. Okay. Think about a challenge, if you will. Everyone's sloppy as with their kisses. Okay. They go in. Everyone's been. Tongue first is weird. We talked about why that might be. When he goes in for his kiss with Elantra at the blindfold challenge. The way he leans, it's so. It's so like, this is. This is what we're talking about when we say we've overanalyzed everything. He leans in, hovers over her mouth. 4.5 seconds to reassure her. I'm here. I'm going to kiss you and I'm going to kiss you good. It's the hover before the kiss that lets me know, that lets us Know as viewers. You mean this fudgeing kiss girl? [00:19:53] Speaker A: I'm saying now going back to the pupils of it all. His pupils, his eyes are something else when he is around her. Okay. Like someone I saw on TikTok, someone compared it to Morticia Adams and go. And Gomez Adams. Like, the way he just is. The way he kisses her hands, the way he is always complimenting her and affirming her. And another thing. [00:20:21] Speaker B: Oh, oh. [00:20:25] Speaker A: Another. Another fucking thing is that when he was coupled up with her the first time after casa. The casa dumping, he asked her, what do you want from Taylor? And she said honesty and reassurance. And literally since then, that has. That's all he's done. [00:20:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:45] Speaker A: It's been like, here's how I appreciate you so much. You bring out this side to beat that. I don't even see it myself. Like, you make me a better man and I break out this silly goofy side in you. Like, I'm sorry, but none of that was said to Sierra. No, none of that was said to her. And I just feel like he literally kisses the ground that she walks on. [00:21:12] Speaker B: And sucks on her feet. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Literally. And there's something about Nick when he is around her that it's just like Nickelandria hive. We are so fucking fed. Like, we've been living on crumbs for the last month and this week alone we have been just like, I'm just waiting for the next kiss. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:37] Speaker A: Because the next kiss outside of a challenge is literally going to. I don't. I think it might cure cancer. Call me crazy. [00:21:48] Speaker B: I think you're right. I think you're spot on. It's going to save humanity. [00:21:54] Speaker A: A lot of people. I don't know. I don't. I don't know. [00:21:56] Speaker B: Because we know what the first kiss did. We know what the first kiss did. And the second kiss. I just hope that, like, I know that they're kind of like tiptoeing. Like when they're talking to each other directly, they seem to be like playing the friend. Goofy vibes. And I know that she moves slow, so I hope that she dives in and tells him the things that she's telling the girls and vice versa. Because I know he's super reassuring, but, like, he hasn't told her like those specifics that he's telling the boys and she told him the specifics. She's telling the girl. He. So, like, that's the next step. I want. Because I want the kiss to feel like the build up that we all. I want the kiss to be on the Ferris wheel. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Yes. But I just, like, if you notice, I just feel like he chooses his words so carefully. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:49] Speaker A: And I. I think he's nervous. [00:22:52] Speaker B: I don't think. I think he doesn't want to scare her off. [00:22:54] Speaker A: Yes. [00:22:55] Speaker B: Because he knows how she moves. [00:22:57] Speaker A: I know, I know. And. But I still feel like he's so complimentary and he is. [00:23:03] Speaker B: He really is. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Even. Even. Honestly, even with, like, him losing the relationship with Ciara, I felt like there. There was no conversation, really. I mean, of course the boys had a conversation, but besides that, like, no one discussed it, which was obviously purposeful. And I feel like that really stood out to me because it was like him saying I lost my strongest connection and it wasn't about losing her. It wasn't like losing the relationship. It was like I lost my strongest connection. [00:23:36] Speaker B: Right. Like, you guys were closed off. [00:23:39] Speaker A: Right. Right. And I just feel like that wouldn't be how you would speak to someone, like, being closed off for somebody. I just feel like, again, he's very intentional and I feel like it almost made it easier to celebrate the nickelandrieff at all. And also we're going to go back to fudgeing Sierra voting for Taylor after the rankings. I just felt like, girl, what the. [00:24:05] Speaker B: What the fuck? Like, I get your guy doing that. Ed, Nettie got to stick together. Right. But, like, you're going to vote for Taylor after your girl Landry was fudged. [00:24:16] Speaker A: Over by him and like, she expressed that to you. You still chose to do that. [00:24:23] Speaker B: And then you're going to stare. You see the shot of her staring at Iris, like, weeping that T.J. was late, that no one's standing behind him. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:31] Speaker B: The look on her face, it's so scary. I'm like, sierra, girl, everything you're doing is just pr. Pr, PR Girl. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I know. [00:24:45] Speaker B: She is just so ready to get those influencing jobs. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah. Sierra unexpectedly left the villa on the actual episode. They didn't really give much explanation to viewers, obviously. Like, we knew that this was a possibility for the most part. But I will say there's like two different sides. Like, there's some people who know what's going on with, like the discourse like that are locked the fuck in on tik tok in Twitter and social media saying, like, what the people are saying. And there's some people, like one of my friends text to me, it was like, wait, why is Sierra leaving? What happened? [00:25:27] Speaker B: Not online. [00:25:28] Speaker A: What? You know what I mean? Like, you're either in one of the camps, you're either locked in or you're watching it, but you're not, like, going on and scrolling. Like, you kind of, like, have priorities, right? [00:25:41] Speaker B: You're not, like, absolutely clinically insane. Like, us, like, getting excited to go to bed to scroll. Michelange edits until 2 in the morning. Like, that's. No, literally, like, I'm not reading a book before bed. I'm watching them watching over and over and over again. [00:25:56] Speaker A: I'm watching literally because it does something to me. And I just felt like it was such a waiting game to see what production was actually going to do. And, I mean, essentially it was what happened on her Instagram story. And I'm also, like, high key. Whoever kept that fucking picture around, like, waiting for the moment to drop. Like, whoever had that screenshot. You're fucked up. Like, obviously what she did was wrong. Like, she shouldn't have said that. I am not, Like, I am. Yeah, I would never. But I just feel like that's also such weird behavior to have that in your back pocket, waiting for the moment to drop that. You know what I mean? I just feel like that's fucking weird. [00:26:41] Speaker B: I didn't think about that. [00:26:42] Speaker A: I mean, you know, we saw what happened with Ulyssa earlier in the season when she was removed after a day or so. But, like, Sierra is worth 30 episodes in. Like, this was just the question. [00:26:54] Speaker B: Never seen anything like it. [00:26:55] Speaker A: Never seen anything like it. And I mean, ultimately they made that decision, but it was never, like, explained, you know? And I saw a tweet the other day that said what happened with Ciara was the colossal failure from everyone involved Peacock in their contestants. Well, her handlers made it worse and producers sat on the decision too long, which allowed it to break on TikTok. And, yeah, I mean, I just feel like they definitely drop the ball when it comes to, like, carefully doing that. And that's something. Shout out to my girl, Bryn. Love you, dedicated Disher and Love island reality TV connoisseur. But she had a good point. Like, when stuff like this happens on, like a CBS show like Survivor or Big Brother, they take a moment to educate not only the other contestants, but the audience. Like, hey, this person is going home because they did something fucked up. Let's talk about it. Like, Julie. Julie Chen or Jeff Probst are going to come in there and be like, hey, this is what's going on. Let's do a temperature check and see how it's going. And I just feel like the public outrage was so overwhelming that they just couldn't deny it. Anymore. And I just feel like waiting so late in the game for it to happen and it just blowing up. Her parents making it worse, the people, her friend who is running the social media had to step down and taking the comments off. I just feel like it was truly harmful to everyone involved. And like, I just feel bad for Sierra. It, I feel like again what she did was fucked up, but I feel like people forget that these are actual people, you know, and I just feel like she probably feels like she's in a fucking black mirror episode, you know what I mean? Like she is having the time of her life, gets kicked off the show, comes home, her parents are like, we're getting death threats, her friends probably aren't talking to her. If she happens to watch the show, she sees her guy and her best girl on the show together, like that's literally a mind fuck. [00:29:24] Speaker B: And sees the entire world rooting for her guy with another girl on top of everything. [00:29:30] Speaker A: Right, right. And you know, I, I feel for her but at the same time it's like I didn't really see it coming that she was a secret villain. Like you said she was very media trained. Honestly, her being on the show, it's like if we were on the show, like she had a Love island birthday party, right? [00:29:51] Speaker B: She, she knows the formula. [00:29:53] Speaker A: She knows, she knows it so well. She started making friends with people who were on the show, you know, and there's just so many little things that I've seen since she's left that have been like, damn, that's not really great. Like maybe she was the problem. Like she went to Arizona State, that's the only college that refuses to acknowledge Martin Luther King Day. She was in a sorority there. One of her best friends is this chick, Brooke Schofields. I think Schofields, whatever the fuck, I don't care. Because she was basically saying that Trayvon Martin deserved to die and that George Zimmerman had a right to do that and that's one of Ciara's best friends. [00:30:39] Speaker B: And oh no, see, right. [00:30:42] Speaker A: Just seeing stuff like that, I'm like, she knew what? [00:30:46] Speaker B: And I've seen receipts of people that, that sent her a message when she posted that story saying, hey, that's a slur, dude, you're not supposed to say that. And her first response was, oh, I'm learning so much, thank you. So like, and then someone else sends her a message about it, then she's like, haha. At least I didn't mean it in that way. I don't feel bad. [00:31:09] Speaker A: I mean the Fact that she, she. [00:31:11] Speaker B: Knew what she was. She was a grown adult. That was last year, dude. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Right, right. It wasn't that long ago. Like, I feel bad for her in the sense of like, she is a person and she is getting destroyed online. [00:31:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:23] Speaker A: But at the same time, you were a Puerto Rican Mexican woman and you are like finding the complete wrong way of going about things and being accepted by people who are judging every other person of color. And then I just think it's funny that, you know, her trying to be this emotionally intelligent, like, thoughtful, deep person, being like, hey guys, I just want you to know, like, when we said Hannah home, it's because X, Y and Z. And you know, I just feel like, honestly, girl code is just out the window because like I said, your friend expressed how she felt to you about the guy who hurt her and. And you still chose to stand behind him and save him. [00:32:06] Speaker B: So that's so fucked up. [00:32:08] Speaker A: I just can't really. I don't know. [00:32:10] Speaker B: Like, and it was right after she and Nick had a conversation with Iris and TJ saying, you guys are like my fa. My best friends in here. They literally just said, you guys are my best friends. And then they. Neither of them voted for him. Like, I, again, I get the Nick voting for Taylor. That's Ed and Nettie, like I said. But I don't know. The Sierra of it all is so frustrating. Like you said, even that response to Pepe about sending Hannah home, it's messed up, dude. It's messed up. It doesn't make any sense. You're saying you're like an avid Love island watcher. What do you mean? Someone made a strong connection and you send them home to give him another chance to find a connect like that does. [00:32:53] Speaker A: It's not compute in me because she was playing it in. Honestly, what it is. Tb. Fuckin H. If she was playing it like a game, she voted Hannah out because she knew Pepe and Hannah would go far. So she was dumping the competition and she did the same thing to Andrina because if she would have voted for her, that it would have been a tie between her and Taylor and she chose not to do that anyway. And she's saying, oh, it's for my guy. No, you're playing a fucking game. And now since she's left, it's been actual connections and people vibing. And I think that's. I'm realizing this as I'm saying, no, yeah, this is literally think that's what it was. She was playing a fucking game. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Yes, she. I mean, that's such a good point. She knows Love island like the back of her hand. She knows how to win it. I just don't think she knows that. Like when the camera's on you, we're seeing every tiny little mannerism that you have. We see every thought going through your head and we see how inauthentic your actions and your words are. We're not vibing with a bitch. [00:34:03] Speaker A: No. And I feel like honestly he was a bit relieved that she was gone. You know, I, to be honest with you, I feel like his energy was off a little bit and they were not really aligned. And I feel like it's so evident in their conversations like he wasn't entirely present and matching her enthusiasm and sometimes it was hard to like watch them together because I feel like Ciara would have like, allowed him to be who he is in regards to not challenging him, you know, like not to be the best version of himself. And I don't believe that you should go into a relationship, be like, I'm going to change you or I'm going to fix you because that's always a recipe for disaster. But I do believe that healthy relationships should like help you, you should grow with them, you know, in the relationship, together and as individuals and they should teach you, encourage you, challenge you and like your partner should want that for you. And to be honest, I think Sierra was willing to just become the girl that she thought Nick wanted her to be. So like, physically, mentally, emotionally, she was just going to settle for whatever Nick gave her even though it wasn't his best. And I think Nick wants someone who is going to make him his best and yeah, he wants to be good enough for Alex Rhea. [00:35:36] Speaker B: Yeah, he wants to be challenged. [00:35:38] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like he wants to prove himself to be good enough for her and in the words of Ace, to be worthy of her in her presence though, like, I genuinely think he wants to prove himself good enough and worthy enough to be considered. [00:35:52] Speaker B: You know, what if it's a man trying to be worthy of a woman, I get it. [00:35:56] Speaker A: That's right. [00:35:57] Speaker B: I'm. But when a man who has his own name tattooed on his back is saying that a woman needs to be worthy of his love and adoration. [00:36:05] Speaker A: Gag. [00:36:05] Speaker B: That's Gag. Yeah. I'm not gagged in a good way about that. [00:36:11] Speaker A: No. And you know, I think I just, I think Nick is extremely smart and he, he wants to be challenged. And anytime with Ciara, I just felt like he was never that excited. No. [00:36:24] Speaker B: You know, like, I just felt like they Never giggled. They never had any fun. [00:36:28] Speaker A: No. And I felt like, yeah, he got jealous because she was a hot commodity and so, you know, he would be immature in that, you know, whoa, there's other people interested in her. Like, you know, let me sneak in and let Sierra know and assume that, you know, he's showing genuine interest when really he was just showing immaturity and jealousy. And watching him with the Landria, it's like this is the version that he wants to be for himself, that he wants to pursue and he wants more time with Alandria and he wants to be the best version of himself to challenge himself to be worthy enough of dating her. And I just, I can't get enough. And you know, I feel whatever. Like that sucks for Ciara. That's a tough pill to swallow. But it's also like, you literally made your bed, sis. I'm an empathetic person so I feel for her. So I don't want anyone to feel like that. And I know this fandom has made people literally take their lives before. Not in America, but in the uk. And I know that's obviously amplified because the UK press is on another level. Yeah, I just, you know, I don't want anyone to get to that dark of a place. But at the same time she, I hope she does learn from this or this is like the beginning of an epic villain origin story. [00:37:53] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I totally agree. Yeah, I'm like, is she gonna end up on House of Villains at some point? Like maybe she's gonna be like the contender next to Jax Taylor. No, I'm kidding. He's the worst of the worst. Yeah, no, I just, I just. Sierra, it's. I don't know really what else to add other than like agreeing she made her bed. She has to learn from her actions. Do I think that equates her family getting death threats? Probably not, no. But I think she needs like to hit rock bottom to, to know that the way she's moving through life is probably not the right direction to go. Just knowing about all of like the kind of superficial, very put a face on to get influencing jobs and all that. Everything we've kind of heard online that, you know, you know, maybe we should take for a grain of salt because it's the Internet, not everything's true and whatever, but we know one thing is true, is that she's an influencer and she said a really fucking bad word multiple times. It wasn't, it wasn't a one time occurrence. She said it several times. [00:39:04] Speaker A: Multiple, multiple, multiple times. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Mate. So it's like, I. All I wish is that she learns, you know, just as a white person growing up in a culture in a bubble that, like, doesn't teach about white supremacy culture. Like, having grown up in that bubble, it's such a hard pill to swallow when you're like, oh, I'm so benefiting. It just takes a lot of work and a lot of time, and it's a never ending process. It's not like, you know, you wake up one day and you're like, I'm white and I am but the best white person. And I know that's exactly it. It's like, she's. She's not white. She's not white. So it's frustrating is like, she should know that. Like, there's just. She. She knew that that was a bad word and she said it anyway. You can't consciously say that and even, like, explain around that word why you don't want to look enter said word, you know, like, that up. I just hope she learns and grows from this and maybe we'll see her in House of Villains. Who knows? I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall watching her watch the nickelandria kiss for the first time. I'll say that. [00:40:16] Speaker A: Oh, God, she's. [00:40:18] Speaker B: Is that evil of me? Am I gonna be on House of Villains? [00:40:24] Speaker A: Honestly, I would pay to see her see that kiss. Like, I'm sad we didn't get to have a movie night. And I would have paid to have seen what happened when she was sent home because it wasn't like a YSA situation. And in the middle of the night, she is getting ready with them during the day. Like, she's in. [00:40:44] Speaker B: They didn't even cut her out. [00:40:46] Speaker A: They didn't even cut her out. So it happened during the day. And in one of Alandria's confessionals, you can hear someone say, you can't do this. Okay, I can't picture Sierra doing that. That's definitely. [00:40:59] Speaker B: I've listened to that so many times. I'm like, I don't even think that's what they're saying. Honestly, you can't even hear it. You can't even hear it that well. I've listened to it with my headphones and no, I don't. I don't. I only. I feel like we're only hearing it because we see someone said that's what it said. If you. If you listen to that. I heard it when I watched no. [00:41:19] Speaker A: On God tree is green, if you know what that means. [00:41:22] Speaker B: Okay. [00:41:23] Speaker A: On God. I swear. [00:41:24] Speaker B: I get it. [00:41:26] Speaker A: And then when I went online, everyone was like, oh, did you hear that? And I was like, I knew I wasn't all right. My discord was going off. [00:41:34] Speaker B: Okay, okay, okay, okay. [00:41:37] Speaker A: So I have to say, but I don't think that was her. I think that could have been somebody else. Don't you conquer me. [00:41:46] Speaker B: I love you. [00:41:47] Speaker A: I love you, too. [00:41:48] Speaker B: Is this our first fight? [00:41:49] Speaker A: Our first way? [00:41:52] Speaker B: I mean, thinking about what you said about the didn't get movie night, I want to tell the viewers who are watching this show for the first time just this season, you know, obviously season six popped off. We have new viewers for season seven. They're always. And when I say always, I mean, like, uk Us. I'm pretty sure Australia as well. France, whatever. Yes, there is always a movie night. We say movie night because they. They basically put up a big screen within a week after Casa Amore. They show the islanders that are still left all of the bad, juicy bits that people have been saying and doing the entire season. Not just of Casa Amore, but everything. So when we're like, we didn't get a. We didn't get that. I guess the equivalent was the mailbox challenge where they got to say what they wanted to say, but it didn't do that. There is something special and chaotic about movie night and why we wanted it so bad was to go. To go back to Nickelandria. We wanted not only, like, the. The absolute insane people that live inside of us. We wanted to see Sierra react to seeing the Nick and Alandria stuff happen, but we also want. I want so bad to see. To see Alandria see it. See Nick talk about her when she's not around and look at her when she doesn't know he's. That's all I want. And we didn't get it. [00:43:29] Speaker A: I know that's what it is because I'm like. For everyone who's like, I can't believe it. I. They're fake. I'm like, I'm so glad that she brought up hello. She kissed him in the first challenge. He's been making comments about liking her and finding her attractive. All in all, his confessionals all season. Fucking. Oh, my God. Wait, we got to go back. Wait, we're going to wait because I just thought of something else. I'm sorry. [00:43:57] Speaker B: I. [00:43:57] Speaker A: Another thing. I'm so pissed that they cut out. She had. And this is for my local Andrea Shippers. Honey, we're detectives, okay? We're Inspector Gadget, bitch. Okay? [00:44:12] Speaker B: The investigative journalism is Everything. [00:44:15] Speaker A: Called me bye bye Walters, because I am investigating bitch. No, but so he pulls her for a chat. When he pulls her, he doesn't even have to say anything. He just looks at her and she says, got it. Where are we going? That's the first thing. That's the first thing. That's the first motherfucker thing. She says, got it. Where are we going? He says, someplace special. Special. He take her to the dot. You take her to the dog locked in. He wipes the seat, and then he sits on. He sits on the motherfucking seat. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Never sat on the seat for fudgeing Sierra. [00:44:54] Speaker A: I'm saying he didn't sit on shit. Okay. And okay, so then he's kissing her hand, Gomez Adams style. That's his Morticia. But I'm so pissed because she had a red jewelry box in her hand. And initially, he's wearing a cross necklace. So this whole season, she's been wearing a necklace with two hearts on it. You guys. You guys, she's wearing a necklace with two fucking hearts on it. She is walking with him with the red jewelry box in her hand. Cut to them at the fire pit. This nigga is wearing one of her pendants. He's wearing one of the pendants. Oh. And I'm like, oh, my God. He's talking about wanting to go ahead and visit Alabama. No one says that unless they're fucking in love. Respectfully, Alabama. My mom is from there. I got a bunch of families still down there. Ain't nobody checking for Alabama. Like, ooh, let me go. Not since the riverboat crawl. Has anybody been like, ooh, let me get my ass to Alabama so I could throw some white boat, beat him with a chair. Okay? This is such a stark contrast to how he was behaving with Sierra. And like I said, if they are scamming me, I give them my consent. [00:46:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah? [00:46:18] Speaker A: Think they're that good of actors? Nick was acting with Sierra, and it was not good. It was not good. [00:46:26] Speaker B: No, it was not good. And you can see that, like, that. That Alandria is, like, been consistent this whole time with how she approaches a relationship. She not go all in so quickly. And she only went into that, you know, the kiss with him because they had that. That. That foundation already. So that's why she was comfortable to test the waters. But now, like, think about how she was at the beginning with Taylor and how she is at the beginning with Nick. It's different because she already has that established relationship, but she still is, you know, testing it, you know? She's like letting it happen organically. She's not like, oh, well, now we're a couple. We've kissed once, let's kiss a million times. She's so consistent with how she is navigating any relationship. And that confirms for me why this is real. [00:47:18] Speaker A: This is real, gang. Okay? And it's like the issue wasn't that they weren't into each other. The issue was that they had distractions. [00:47:27] Speaker B: And now they don't want to have that. [00:47:29] Speaker A: And I'm just so happy that she finally decided to be selfish. Like, I love that for her. And I know she's the oldest child, a dark skinned black woman. Like, I hope this is a love letter and a fudgeing affirmation for black women. Like, be selfish. Start choosing yourself because at the end of the day, nobody is going to take care of you and have your back like yourself. And I'm just so glad that she is finally moving for herself. And I feel like they look so cute together. You sent me a picture. [00:48:10] Speaker B: Whoever put them, the two of them together and aied Marcel and Hilton, their children is. I would like to marry and kiss that person because it looked so good. [00:48:21] Speaker A: They look so good. [00:48:22] Speaker B: What a beautiful family. I can't wait. [00:48:24] Speaker A: Like, I can't even explain the fact, first of all, the fact that Nick's middle name is Marcel, I can't explain it, but it just makes sense. His. His family manifested him, ended up with the black woman. I'll just say that because the middle name Marcel Marcellus, girl, y' all wanted him to end up with a nigga and I'm here for it. Okay? Y' all wanted him to have a black woman in his life with the name Marcel. Marcel, okay. [00:48:55] Speaker B: They've been manifesting it since day one. [00:48:57] Speaker A: And the fact that they're so supportive. And what Nick said, literally his mother said on TikTok about Alandra breaking out this side to him, this more manly side. And every man wants to be better for her and worship the ground that she walks on because she's a queen. And he brings out this silly, goofy side to her, you know? And I'm just, I just am like, guys, can we get an extension? Can we get an extension of this season? Because not now that even Pepe and Iris, they're growing on me too. Amaya and Brian. Like, I just would now that now that the vibes have just completely shifted. I wish we had like two more weeks. Like, I. [00:49:41] Speaker B: They really fucked around with us for most of the majority of the middle of the Season. [00:49:45] Speaker A: Oh my God, I just hate that. It's like, I know Nick probably feels like, holy shit, he just got so lucky. Like, not only was he voted off, but then this girl that he's been obsessed with pulls up in the G wagon. Like, get in Miraculously saved. They go on this magical date with like the girl, basically the most beautiful woman he's seen in his lifetime. And then the second time, his most strong connection has to just leave. The girl that he's with that he. She's clearly more into him than he's into her. Gets removed from the show for separate reasons. And I think if you're like, Nick, you're like, bro, like, what's going on? Who. Does Sierra have a voodoo doll? Does someone have a voodoo doll? Like, what is. What is going on? You know? Like, I. [00:50:38] Speaker B: We do need an extension. I would give us two more weeks. Kind of like it's taking up a spot on. They're making so much money. [00:50:46] Speaker A: We would fucking watch. Like, are you kidding me? Oh my God. I would be so fucking in on that. I want that so bad. Like fucking for real like now. It's just so fun. And I'm like, damn. I want more especially like, like Shelly and Ace. Okay. They. They're pretty. They're pretty good. Everyone else, I would like to stay minus Aria. [00:51:10] Speaker B: Yeah. We haven't even gotten into hood of that. [00:51:12] Speaker A: I know. I guess we can move on. We can, we can move the other contestants for a little bit. Huda. [00:51:19] Speaker B: I'm just give a little splash of it. [00:51:22] Speaker A: I just feel like, what do you. [00:51:24] Speaker B: What do you think about Huda had sex and now she's anxious. Attachment flared up, girl. That's what I think. [00:51:32] Speaker A: Like I said in my one group chat, she gave the cookie and she went cookie, shoe. [00:51:36] Speaker B: It's hard to watch. I. I will say the whole, like, I understand her getting a little like triggered with like thinking back to the Jeremiah times AKA less than a month ago and you know, getting insecure that people are going to see her kissing someone and then get judgmental and assume things. And like, I get that totally. I think I maybe, maybe talk me into this if I'm not understanding it correctly, unless I am. But I don't think I understand Chris being upset that she doesn't want to kiss him because it's very normal for people not to like, pda. Is he upset because he's seen her do that with Jeremiah and why isn't she doing it with him? I don't. I don't get that perspective. That he has. [00:52:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:22] Speaker B: I'm not Team Huda by any means. [00:52:25] Speaker A: If. [00:52:25] Speaker B: But I don't get his perspective. [00:52:27] Speaker A: Yes, I do. Because if it was a girl, the Jeremiah thing, if it was a female and a man was doing that to you, where he's. You lay down when you're in public, not really heard doing that, and there was no one around them, and he asked for a kiss, and she's like, I don't know. My Little Red Riding Hood. No, bitch fudge, ain't nobody here. [00:52:51] Speaker B: Okay. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Kiss me. [00:52:52] Speaker B: Yes. And you know what? I. That. Yep. Thank you for putting that in that perspective. Because then he is approaching her and saying, hey, why won't you do this? And she's not affirming him like, hey, it's not you. I just don't like to kiss in public. She didn't say that. She didn't tell him. I'm triggered by the whole Jeremiah thing. Okay, thank you. Yep. That. That definitely. Because I was, like, confused. I'm like, I don't know how into PDA I am, but, you know, like, it's just. [00:53:18] Speaker A: I mean, I'm not either, but I'm like, you can hold my hand. You can. [00:53:21] Speaker B: Like, if you can show me you're into me, you. You need to show people you're into me. Like, that's important. Yeah. [00:53:28] Speaker A: And also, no one's around, so you can fudgeing kiss me. Like, fuck. [00:53:32] Speaker B: Yeah. And also, you know what? Totally. And to make it a point of, like, looking right then, it's like, that's weird. [00:53:39] Speaker A: That's so weird. And I felt, like, real. [00:53:41] Speaker B: I needed that perspective. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Just. I just felt like if he. If it was the other way around and he was doing that to her, she would be fucking upset. [00:53:50] Speaker B: That's real. I have that thought all the time when, like, you know, being women that are fat and big bodies is like, I always am. Like, if I'm dating someone, are you gonna be excited to be with me around other people when maybe you're skinnier than me? You know? It's like that. That totally puts it into perspective for sure. Yeah. There's always that fear of, like, are you embarrassed to be with me? Why aren't you kissing me? And then you're fucking me. Buying closed doors is like. Yeah, totally. Totally. [00:54:18] Speaker A: Exactly that. And I just saw that you were doing this with somebody else a couple weeks ago, so why not me? Right? [00:54:25] Speaker B: Like, I'm watching you from my hotel room, motherfucker. [00:54:27] Speaker A: Like, Right. He's a very mature man. I love Chris. He's So hot. He's so mature. He's so emotionally intelligent. And I can understand Huda being scared of pda. Is she scared to open up after what she went down with Jeremiah? But like babe, you have got to communicate better. [00:54:46] Speaker B: That's it. [00:54:49] Speaker A: Cuts people off. So fucking. [00:54:52] Speaker B: That was so hard to watch. [00:54:53] Speaker A: Oh my God, she's so defensive and. [00:54:57] Speaker B: It'S just too like let a man get his thoughts out first and then defend yourself after he's done. [00:55:04] Speaker A: I mean like it was so fudgeing irritating. That really would have pissed me off so hard because every time you tried to say something, she cut him off and then she would finish her thought and it's like, no, bitch, I. I'm speaking, I'm reclaiming my. [00:55:20] Speaker B: And I. You know what? I love that he kept calling her out. He did not hesitate, he did not let her do that because she needs that. [00:55:27] Speaker A: Like I don't know how else she is going to learn. Like I, I don't, I just don't know when it's gonna hit for her. And at this point I'm like, I'm sorry, I don't think Love island is the place for you. I don't think you're gonna learn that in this villa. I genuinely think you need to work on yourself. [00:55:45] Speaker B: Yes. [00:55:46] Speaker A: And why react this way? You're so defensive. I know Virgos have good crash outs and yes, they can, you know, very set in their own like inside their head. They're at a war in their minds. And I understand that. I have a Virgo moon, but like Virgo ascendant. [00:56:06] Speaker B: Yep. That's why I think we get along is because we get each other. [00:56:09] Speaker A: I get it. I get it. And it's like I have empathy for her because I know what it's like to be hurt and to be scared and to push people off, but to do it in such a fucking toxic like I don't know, I guess the coming from an avoidant attachment style. Seeing someone who is so like anxious attachment style. Her knee jerk reaction is just so. It's 99% of the time nasty and defensive. [00:56:42] Speaker B: I will say I don't even think she got even nasty tonight. I feel like she walked away before she got nasty. Which is. [00:56:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:49] Speaker B: Which meant. [00:56:50] Speaker A: Yeah sure. [00:56:51] Speaker B: And she did say in her testimonial like listen, I'm. I need a restate to people. I'm not Team Huda. I. She. I can't stand that bitch. But, but in her testimonial she was like, am I the problem? And it's I think she's recognizing a pattern and maybe, maybe she does need to be on. Maybe the show is good for her to, like, really, like, show her. These are bad, like, tendencies that you into. Yeah, these are bad reactions. [00:57:19] Speaker A: Yeah. And even, like, I feel like Amaya tried to do that. I mean, God bless Amaya, someone who's, who's done almost like the opposite of Huda. And I feel like if you go back to, like, her earlier moments in the season, like her fallout with Ace and what they were going through, that fight on the dock and her just going so hard on him, talking about. [00:57:43] Speaker B: Not letting someone talk. [00:57:45] Speaker A: Right. And, you know, I feel like she's grown from that. She's someone who crashed out, had a huge fallout multiple times, like with Ace and with Austin. And, you know, there's something really special about, like, seeing her really grow. And to understand Amaya in a way that I honestly didn't expect to in the beginning. And I really love her, but I think to understand her is to love her like her own lexicon. You know, the way she speaks and her positivity, her moo moose. You know, she's got a fudgeing thing on Google. Did you see that? [00:58:23] Speaker B: Like, she's literally that bitch Amaya Papaya refers to Amaya, a contestant on Love island usa. Kind of going back to what I said about how we see kind of Sierra's little mannerisms and why we don't fuck with her that deep, because we can see, see, there's a lot of, like, inauthentic navigation around the villa. We see amaya's presenting herself 100% authentic. She's not trying to be anyone else but who she is. And then to take it a step further, we know for a fact she did not go on this show for clout because she didn't have anyone manage her socials when she went in here. [00:59:03] Speaker A: Right. [00:59:04] Speaker B: Her socials are. There's no activities happening. So she came on the show to find love, and she's been doing everything she can. I hope it's Brian. He seems to really like her. And we know that, you know, they did the do in the hideaway, which is great. I just, I'm really, I, I, I want the best for her. Unfortunately, I am going to be voting Nicholandria to the end, but I, I'm so excited for her to get out of the villa and see she has over 2,2 million followers on tick tock. I think she hit 2 million on Instagram. I mean, I'm just so happy for her. To see that. We see that. And Sierra to see this is how. You know, maybe you're crazy and chaotic, but we. But when you're authentic and you show up as your real person, that's it, man. That's all that we want. Beanbags and avocado toast, bruh. [00:59:57] Speaker A: Bruh. Okay. Your finals, your final four. Who is it? [01:00:01] Speaker B: Nick and Alandria, period. My winners. That's like we're talking top four. They're my winners. [01:00:07] Speaker A: Michael, Andrea, like I said, I am going to make it my last mission to make sure they get that hundred fucking K. Yeah. [01:00:14] Speaker B: There's no reason. I think they, they made it seem like they were like low possibly on the totem pole today during the dumping, which I have something to say about dumpings in a second. [01:00:25] Speaker A: I just feel like they did that. [01:00:26] Speaker B: They did that for the drama. [01:00:27] Speaker A: Taylor, the Taylor Nick of it all. And also lol, Taylor telling Nick to do the little things for Alandria because she really appreciate it. That was so off putting to me because I'm like, he knew that that was her love language and he chose not to do it on this thing. Right. You can choke. [01:00:46] Speaker B: Like, go explore your connection deeper at the fudgeing airport. My guy. [01:00:49] Speaker A: Like, no, literally have fun on your airlines exploring your connection with. With Clark. And I feel bad for Clark because she does. She's collateral damage. But hey, that's what happened. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Hey, that's when you choose a guy that's like Taylor. Yeah. No, go have fun on Spirit Airlines with your paid for snacks. Like, yeah, that's okay. My final four. Nick and Landria. [01:01:14] Speaker A: Yes. [01:01:14] Speaker B: Am I Papaya and Brian? [01:01:17] Speaker A: Yes. [01:01:17] Speaker B: Pepe and Iris. [01:01:18] Speaker A: Yes. [01:01:19] Speaker B: And Shelly and Ace. It's inevitable. I'm simply never going to vote for them because we all know how I feel about him. [01:01:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:28] Speaker B: But I think that's gonna be. That's, that's what I'm calling it. Zachary, what about you, Zachary? [01:01:32] Speaker A: Same. Yeah. Nick. Nick and Alandria. My winners for sure. Amaya and Brian. I do think they're cute. Shelly and Ace. I also really like them a lot. And yeah, Pepe and Iris. I did not see that coming. But honestly, Pepe needs to be studying in a lab because now he's had two women who were practically in love with other men sobbing over them, leaving. [01:02:05] Speaker B: Yes. [01:02:05] Speaker A: Wrecked to shreds over another man forgetting about them within 24 hours. Pepe, you are doing something right. Pepe, you. You are that guy. And I'm. I'm here for Pepe. If it was another universe without Nick And Alandria. [01:02:22] Speaker B: No, seriously, that loves a sad white woman. He loves the sad one and blonde, too. Oh, my God. [01:02:29] Speaker A: Start crying. Start crying. Maybe he'll see this. Wait, you got to do the Irish. [01:02:35] Speaker B: The iris pout. I can't. My Botox and my brows won't let me do it. But speaking of people leaving the villa, my friend Jen. Shout out. Jen Raider. I miss you. You're great. She had this incredible idea for, like, a possible reinvention of how to, like, save people that we want. And I'm gonna read what she said. Okay? She said we need an Ariana Maddox quote. Tim Gun safe. So, like on Project Runway, a contender is eliminated, and Tim Gunn could save only one person a season from elimination. When our baby islanders are too tired and emotional to think clearly, they send home a genuine connection, like Hannah, Ariana, or whoever the host is. Maya, Jama, whomever can be the mother of the villa and save them. It's like a golden buzzer. Tim Gun save for, like, this is an actual connection. We need to save it. [01:03:38] Speaker A: I love that idea. I think that's so great, especially with someone like Ariana, because she's so invested. [01:03:47] Speaker B: Yes, exactly what I said. [01:03:49] Speaker A: She. It would make complete sense. Like, she's hosting, but she's also watching Mega Fan. Mega Fan. Which is why I just love that she's in this world now. And I think that that would be very, very cool. I would. I would like that a lot. I would like that a lot. Because Hannah definitely went a bit of save. And honestly, Nick and Alandria, the fact that Ariana is just as geek, even with the recoupling, she had to, like, control herself, I feel like. I know. I know she was, because I've been watching her for so long from Vanderpump, but, like, she was like, well, you guys have been friends since day one. You have a pretty solid foundation. And just her little smile. I literally made it a sticker on my fucking phone because she. She gets it. And I think that she should have some power, like that peacock. Hook that the fuck up. Let Ariana get a save. Okay? [01:04:47] Speaker B: Exactly. [01:04:47] Speaker A: Ariana get a save. I'm here for that. [01:04:50] Speaker B: It's been crazy this fucking season. I can't. I'm sad it's coming to an end. [01:04:54] Speaker A: I'm so bummed out. [01:04:56] Speaker B: As much as I hated this season, what do we do? Well, I'm going to still be watching uk, which, yeah, completely. [01:05:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I know I still got some episodes to watch, but I'm just, like, now that I'm just so upset that I just feel like the middle was so wasted. And then for Sierra to be sent home at the tail end 30 days in, it's just like, bruh. Oh, my God. Like, as happy as I am for the nickelandry of it all, I'm like, they could have had two weeks together if y' all would have nipped it in the bud as soon as it started popping off. [01:05:31] Speaker B: Yes. [01:05:32] Speaker A: Like, why wait? It's just. Yeah, like I already said, I just don't think that was a good decision on the production's part to keep her around for that long. Trying to wait for it to blow over. In this. In this world, in the social media day and age when everything is just accessible at our fingertips, shit doesn't really blow over like, that. [01:05:55] Speaker B: It's not going to slip through the cracks. Like, yes. [01:05:57] Speaker A: And especially when people already are having a reason to hate your ass, you know, like, people were already, like, so over her with the weight, the political correctness, like, the inauthenticity of her. They were like, this bitch is not genuine at all. And then her guy is obviously to someone else. So, like, they were already getting irritated with her. And it's like, y' all should have figured this out. I'm actually planning on writing an essay about yes. So. No, because there's. Yes, because there's an epidemic when it's coming to casting people, not vetting their people. I'm like, if we are figuring this out so quickly, why the fuck are you guys not. Like, I was on a game show. I was on a game show, and. And they did the most extensive background check ever. So I'm like, these people are there for weeks on end, for months. Like, I don't understand how y' all are not. [01:06:58] Speaker B: How did this shit. [01:06:59] Speaker A: Griffy. I don't. I don't understand. And it's not just this show is some Bravo shows, too. I'm like, why are you all not vetting these people? Like, right. I don't stand. [01:07:09] Speaker B: Like, when your season is starting with already with the public already planning to vote people out before the season fudgeing starts, you did not do your job. How do you not. How do you not click the reposts of someone's TikTok and dig into what they're reposting because that'll show that that's step one. And you watch. You have to watch every single one of them. [01:07:34] Speaker A: It's really frustrating, and I just hate that now it's getting good, and we're cooking and we Got a fudgeing week left. Some bullshit. Oh, I hate it. But I'm also so fed. I'm just so grateful to not be living off crumbs anymore and to be feasting and not really feasting because we barely got any Nickelandria this episode. But I'm praying that hopefully they show us a little more. We get a one on one day, we get some smooches. My girl needs some smooches. [01:08:10] Speaker B: We need kiss. [01:08:12] Speaker A: Because they. They really do have such good chemistry. And I feel like that kiss is really going to alter my brain chemistry like that first one did. That first one is honestly one of my favorite kisses on tv. [01:08:27] Speaker B: Like, hands down, it. [01:08:29] Speaker A: It is such a good kiss. But even the blindfold one is also good in the. The chokehold. The literal chokehold. She. [01:08:41] Speaker B: It's that first kiss. And that first kiss. Yeah. Oh, and then him carrying her out ass first. Like, oh, I just can't wait, you know? You know what? One of the best parts of the show is the kind of, like, excitement of, like, when they leave the villa and they get their phones back for the first time and you see them, like, posting together at the air and, like. Like, that is also a really fun part of it. So maybe I am kind of excited for it to end so we can actually see where the relationships blossom. Very excited. [01:09:13] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I saw someone. The comparisons I've seen have been so great. Like, there's one of Kenny from last season after he kissed Janae, and then Nick after he kissed Alandrian. Soul Ties. And it's the same. Same days. Drunk in Love, Dilated pupils. Oh, my God. It just. It literally sent, like, it's. Oh, my gosh. Well, we're going to have to do a recording finale night. [01:09:48] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don't want. [01:09:51] Speaker A: I don't. [01:09:52] Speaker B: I'm sad. [01:09:53] Speaker A: I'm sad, too. I don't want this to be over. But we'll have. We'll have beyond the Villa, and rumor has it we'll be dishing on that too, right? [01:10:03] Speaker B: Rumor has it. Stay tuned. You're not getting rid of me that quickly. Wow. [01:10:14] Speaker A: Wow. [01:10:15] Speaker B: I know. We're kind of nearing our end of the Love island recaps. Thank you for having me. Oh, my God. [01:10:23] Speaker A: Thank you for doing this. Thank you for staying up so late. It's now nights. [01:10:29] Speaker B: Every time. Every fucking time. I would. I mean, you. I started watching with you. I'll end on my dying days watching with you. Shout out Cassandra Siesla for introducing us season two of UK and us. [01:10:42] Speaker A: Just. Thanks, guys. [01:10:43] Speaker B: Rotting on the couch in the Ashland house. Just. [01:10:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:10:46] Speaker B: Watching 50 episodes to catch up to where they were. But, man, I'm so glad to be here, you know, this is such a big part of our personalities and our brands as humans. No, I couldn't. I wouldn't be anywhere else. I would literally just be scrolling nickelandry edits if I wasn't here with you, so. Which is exactly what I'm gonna do when we stop recording as soon as we get off. [01:11:09] Speaker A: I know, I know, I know. I love it so much. Sorry. Not sorry. Like I said, y' all caught us delusional and that shit came true. [01:11:20] Speaker B: So follow me on TikTok, because I posted a TikTok about it and it got like a hundred likes, so. [01:11:26] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Mud flood on TikTok, honey.
